Liverpool went down 2-1 to Tottenham Hotspur last weekend in the Premier League. Jamie Carragher suffered an injury in that game and has been ruled out for weeks, leaving Kygriakos and Skrtel as the only two established centre halves in Roy Hodgson’s side in the absence of the former and Daniel Agger.
Liverpool did draw with Steaua Bucharest away from home in the Europa League on Thursday. A goalkeeping error from Pepe Reina proved to be their undoing against Steaua as they gifted the Romanians an equalising goal.
Apart from Carragher, Liverpool will also be without Steven Gerrard for this game.

Aston Villa have been poor away from home this season. They lost 4-2 to Arsenal last weekend, a game in which they had a decent second half, but a poor first one. They were also eliminated from the Carling Cup by local rivals Birmingham City on Wednesday.
Ashley Young is suspended for Aston Villa. Scottish midfielder Barry Bannan is a doubt with his groin injury, leaving Villa with more problems in midfield as Steve Sidwell, Fabian Delph and Stiliyan Petrov are all long term absentees.
